New way to transport my UDS

kevine · Apr 20, 2014

I have a cargo basket that I use on the trailer hitch of my truck to take my UDS camping. However, my cargo basket was only about 20" wide, so I made a square out of 2x4, that was bolted to the cargo basket. It basically kept my UDS from sliding side to side, etc. I then used ratchet straps. Well, I finally started teaching myself how to weld. One of the projects on my list, in addition to finding 100+ gallon propane tank to make a smoker, was to modify my cargo basket so that my UDS would fit into it. Here ya go...

a few ratchet straps, and I can continue pissing off vegetarians on the freeway

Good job. Carry on. (pun intended)

Well done! I like it. :thumb:

Thanks everyone. The welds are ugly. Had to do a lot of grinding and re-welding but it's strong and functional. Since I only use this thing for hauling the UDS, it made sense to make the mod. It's very purpose specific

I like it! Good job on the mod. and the message too. Gotta keep 'em squirming LOL!

Looks good. You did a nice job on the design to make it look factory. I use one a hitch basket haul my 22 wsm, a otg and a cooler when needed. I specifically bought it for this purpose and found one that is 24x60.

Make Sure you leave the air intakes open when you travel so they can smell the previously cooked meat.

Love it!

Looks great!

One word of caution though, if you cover your license plate, it gives them a reason to pull you over.

Budman1 · Apr 21, 2014

Ooh-Rah! Nothing better than seeing a UDS on the back of a pickup going down the highway. But as deerslayer says, might want to do something about the license plate. Years ago I got pulled over twice in one night just for not having my rear plate lit up-NY law.

Heck, mount the plate right on the ugly.
